Curating and Graphic Novels

Curating and Graphic Novels:
Using approachable media in curating forced labour and the Holocaust with Professor Ruth Leiserowitz

The Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre and the German Historical Institute in Warsaw invite you to a talk by Professor Ruth Leiserowitz where she will explore the curation of the new Jewish Museum in the Kaliningrad Synagogue’s permanent exhibition. This will include examples of how the events of forced labour and the Holocaust could be transposed understandably through media such as graphic novels.

Professor Ruth Leiserowitz is Deputy Director at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw and professor for East European History at the Humboldt University, Berlin. She is also the curator of the permanent exhibition in the new Jewish Museum in the Kaliningrad Synagogue.
